Overall Sunday readership dropped 17 percent overall, even as circulation of other Sunday papers increased 6 percent, according to the latest quarterly circulation figures. || Related:U.K. newspaper editor Jim Cassidy says journalists covering the inquiry into press practices should "pray to their god, not the god that has ruled them for decades, that great and powerful God Circulation."
